CLARE MEANS - LYRICS

White Bamboo Album Lyrics New York Night lyrics by Clare Means music by Clare Means and Michael Starr It was our last night at the Chelsea Hotel, curtains pulled tight over thin glass doors. Sirens wail down below but we're locked up on the fourth floor. All that's below is a spiral of paint, all that is above us is a spiral of sky, all that's between us is all that we're not and we're giving it all to the New York night. So close your eyes, and hold on tight and wrap yourself around the New York night. The fan creaks to the bodies below. Light seeps from under the door. The key is in the lock from the rush inside to give it all to the New York night. So close your eyes, and hold on tight and wrap yourself around the New York night. Sirens wail on 23rd, drowning out our every word, but there is nothing left to say. It's better off this way. So close your eyes, and hold on tight and wrap yourself around the New York night. Everybody's Room But Mine by Clare Means Never knew my momma Never knew my pa I have four brothers Never met one I've lived in everybody's room but mine I've lived in everybody's room but mine My momma left me when I was born She couldn't care for a baby boy Her body filled with poison she put the needle in Body filled with cocaine and heroin But don't listen to me I tell too many lies don't listen to me 'cause I've lived in everybody's room but mine No one ever listens I tell too many lies no one ever looks I can't look in their eyes the truth I never hear the truth I never speak I trust no one no one trusts me But don't listen to me I tell too many lies Don't listen to me 'cause I've lived in everybody's room but mine I have four brothers never met one I've had six mothers never trusted none Every night I rock myself to sleep Every night I rock myself to sleep But don't listen to me I tell too many lies Don't listen to me 'cause I've lived in everybody's room but mine
Snow Angels by Clare Means Dance with me through fields of snow follow me far away we'll go we'll make angels in the snow Skate with me across icy lakes carving figures with our skates we'll make angels in the snow Skating under colored lights Touching through our frostbite we'll make angels in the snow They can have their sun, their heat when you're with me there is no need we'll make angels in the snow Skating under colored lights Touching through our frostbite we'll make angels in the snow Tell me this will never end skating round, holding your hand we'll make angels in the snow Skating under colored lights Kissing through our frostbite we'll make angels in the snow Sipping from your hot cocoa Lying in our fields of snow making angels in the snow making angels in the snow Haunt You by Clare Means You say you don't know me who's fault is that? Been around for 25 years you ever thought about that? Don't regret a single thing about my childhood with you it never would have been half as good But you never sent me a birthday card or Christmas greetings too you act as though I don't exist but you know I do...you know I do, you know I do. I'm going to haunt you cause you know I do I'm going to haunt you, you know it's true I'm going to haunt you 'cause you know I do I'm going to haunt you... Of the 10 other children none you treated well you made their childhood living hell guess I'm the lucky one missed out on you guess I am relieved that that much is true But you never sent me a birthday card or Christmas greetings too you act as though I don't exist but you know I do.... You know I do, you know I do I'm going to haunt you cause you know I do I'm going to haunt you, you know it's true I'm going to haunt you 'cause you know I do I'm going to haunt you... Now you're living with your mail-order bridein the Philippines You're living every dirty old man's fantasy but you never sent me a birthday card or Christmas greetings too you act as though I don't exist but you know I do.... You know I do, you know I do I'm going to haunt you cause you know I do I'm going to haunt you, you know it's true I'm going to haunt you 'cause you know I do I'm going to haunt you...
White Bamboo by Clare Means Quality Inn room 233 wondering why you left me light on the wall like white bamboo feels like China where I am with you China love so foreign and fragile cut the skin and watch it spill over your white bamboo Pickup pulls into it's spot empty cars in a crowded lot lights through my window, shadows move lost in this forest of white bamboo China love so foreign and fragile cut the skin and watch it spill over your white bamboo Jet-lag dreams rock me awake your sharp words I cannot shake the humid night still and blue writing by the light of the white bamboo China love so foreign and fragile cut the skin and watch it spill over your white bamboo The whir of traffic softly plays lonely cars on a dark highway and I can't see a thing that I write cradled in this bamboo night China love so foreign and fragile cut the skin and watch it spill over your white bamboo Notions of Love by Clare Means I'll probably never tell you this I've lied with every kiss I've lied with every touch I never did feel that much Don't believe my smile Don't believe what you hear Don't believe me whispering softly in your ear cause I'm... Swimming in your ocean but I'm going through the motions I'm drowning in these notions of love Don't listen to my heartbeat It doesn't beat for you Don't count my pulse You'll find that I am untrue cause I'm... Swimming in your ocean but I'm going through the motions I'm drowning in these notions of love Baby I'm just cold and mean Maybe I'm just cold and mean cause I'm... Swimming in your ocean but I'm going through the motions I'm drowning in these notions of love Don't listen to my footsteps walking by your side you'll find that they are far behind from your careless stride And don't feel my breath exhale upon your cheek it's all been a mean and nasty dirty little trick cause I'm... Swimming in your ocean but I'm going through the motions I'm drowning in these notions of love
Angels of the Freeway by Clare Means In the city of angels I fly away There's nothing angelic about it anyway I'm one of many on this dirty freeway And I just don't know which exit to take My only friend is this red car She's promised to take me real far but her motor would hum without me she don't care who sits in her seat Taillights blur before me A chopper whirs above me Somewhere below some crime creeps I sit alone in my bucket seat In the city of angels I fly away There's nothing angelic about it anyway I'm one of many on this dirty freeway And I just don't know which exit to take In the city of pumped and swollen breasts In the city of poised cigarettes the sun will rise in the muddy sky the dirty air clouds my eyes In the city of angels I fly away There's nothing angelic about it anyway I'm one of many on this dirty freeway And I just don't know which exit to take Through the canyons the traffic turns I'm one of many this city has spurned Through the canyons the traffic turns I'm one of many this city has spurned In the city of angels I fly away There's nothing angelic about it anyway I'm one of many on this dirty freeway And I just don't know which exit to take In the city of angels I fly away There's nothing angelic about it anyway I'm one of many on this dirty freeway And I just don't know which exit to take Chloe by Clare Means Remember Chloe, We built those spaceships out of batteries and old radios? We flew to the moon and we flew to the moon and we flew to the moon and back and back Stretching out on freshly mowed grass we watched the clouds pass orange slices and oreos in the sun in the sun Remember Chloe, We built those spaceships out of batteries and old radios? We flew to the moon and we flew to the moon and we flew to the moon and back and back Now I waste my days away with empty men and their empty ways running circles with tasteless food Saturdays used to be so good Remember Chloe, We built those spaceships out of batteries and old radios? We flew to the moon and we flew to the moon and we flew to the moon and back and back
Asbury Park by Clare Means Hey Mr. Fitzpatrick how does it feel trapped behind those great big bars clasping cold steel? Asbury Park misses you carousel and ferris wheel Asbury Park misses you carousel and ferris wheel Remember when you took your first ride? You never dreamed you end up inside these walls But you threw your hands around her neck and squeezed oh so tight watched her draw her last breath but the little boy inside remembers... Asbury Park misses you carousel and ferris wheel Asbury Park misses you carousel and ferris wheel No mother or father to teach you right from wrong and crying in that barren cell you're still alone Asbury Park misses you carousel and ferris wheel Asbury Park misses you carousel and ferris wheel And you see her face when you close your eyes and you hear that little boy he lurks inside and says... Asbury Park misses you carousel and ferris wheel Asbury Park misses you carousel and ferris wheel Guitars and Chocolates by Clare Means Guitars and chocolates and old country songs and coffee in the morning I find my reasons to go on even though you're long gone I brewed a cup up for you It's getting cold by me It's rich and strong but it's working wrong cause it's not bringing you back to me but I've got... Guitars and chocolates and old country songs and coffee in the morning I find my reasons to go on even though you're long gone Yesterday I bought a brand new book It went to bed with me and I guess it'll have to do since you closed the chapter on me But I've got... Guitars and chocolates and old country songs and coffee in the morning Oh but these are working wrong cause they're not bringing you back to me to me... to me... CLAREMEANS.COM
